Sentry Mode: Your Best Legal Witness

01 Oct 2025 • 26 min • EN

Episode Summary In this episode of Kilowatt, Bodie Grimm welcomes the ever-entertaining Allison Sheridan to share a dramatic and insightful story about Tesla’s Sentry Mode in action. While at an eye appointment, Allison’s Model 3 was unexpectedly hit by another car—triggering Tesla’s critical alert system and capturing the entire incident on video. Allison discusses how Sentry Mode helped identify the vehicle, clarify responsibility, and expedite the insurance process, thanks to Tesla's built-in cameras and recording features. The duo also explore Tesla’s camera-based situational awareness, limitations of traditional mirrors, and why other EV manufacturers are lagging behind in similar capabilities. Plus, they touch on subscription fees for features that arguably should be standard.
